I was in JHS class of 1960 with Ron and we were friendly then. Years later when he was mayor, my wife and I came back to Jacksonville for a reunion and he took us in tow and made sure we got to everything. We have respected his efforts ever since. He will be missed by us all.

Rosemary and family,
It is with great sadness in my heart to hear of Ron's passing....It was a tremendous honor and privilege to know him. When my brother, Gary Hickey, was killed in a car accident, Gary was working for WLDS-WEAI and Ron was a special friend to my brother. Ron then became a truly wonderful friend to my family and me. His kindness was so memorable as well as Jerry Symons' kindness, that they both became lifelong friends of our family. There is no way that we can ever say thank you enough to Ron, except to tell the world what they already know: Ron was a wonderful and outstanding man whom God truly used on a daily basis. God bless you all and as you know, he will be and is deeply missed.
With love and prayers,
Wanda Hoffman (Hickey)

Very sorry to learn of Ron's death. Ron and I shared a passion--and stories--of mid-19th century Jacksonville. His interest in John J. Hardin helped me understand the early citizens of our hometown for my book about Hardin's friend Stephen A. Douglas. Prayers for Ron's soul and condolences to his many friends and loved ones.

Rosemary & Family....Marilyn and I send our thoughts and prayers as we hear of Ron's death. We are "out of town" and will miss the funeral but I'm sure you know our friendship goes back to many fond memories of Ron. I will always remember Ron's conversation with me after our daughter was killed on July 4th in South Jacksonville. As News Director to came to our house that tragic night to report the "news." He said he pulled into the driveway and couldn't come to the door. That night he was more than a "News Director." He was a man with a tremendous amount of personal feelings and I'm a better person to have had Ron as a friend.
God Bless,
George & Marilyn Murphy

Ron Tendick was a 'Primce, ' and the epitome of a gentleman.
I had many opportunities to visit with Ron during my 21-year tenure as JHS boys' basketball coach.

Ron stepped forward to assist me in establishing the Annual Rotary sponsored 'West Central Illinois Student-Athlete recognition banquet.'

As I began doing my Saturday morning 'Sports Spotlight Program' on WLDS, it was Ron who took me under his wings to tutor the Coach.

My wife, Gerry and I extend our sincere sympathy to Ron's wife, Rosemary and and their entire family. I will cherish the great memories shared with Ron Tendick.

The Passavant family extends sympathy to Rosemary and the entire Tendick family. Ron was admired for his wise counsel, and he was a valued leader here at Passavant Area Hospital. He cared deeply about our hospital and its role in the community. He leaves a great legacy of community service.
